To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN SCANNELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Helena, in the county of Lewis and Clarke, State of Montana, have invented a new and useful Carriage Wheel Joint Support, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in carriage-wheel joint-supports; and the objects of my improvements are, first, to provide a joint-support for a carriage-wheel which will hold the wheel to its diameter while in use, and,second, Where the joints onold wheels are settled or sagged to provide a spring-plate and T-bolt to bring the wheel and joint back to their true diameter The several views of the drawings are described briefly, as follows:

c Figure 1, a sectional face or side view of a wheel at a joint, shows the new support in place. Fig. 2 gives a face view of bolt, spring shank. Fig. 3 shows View of the bolt, spring T-plate, and threaded shank.

The following is a detailed description of the several figures in the drawings:

Fig. 1,.a indicates spring T-plate. b indicates the felly-plate. 0 indicates the wooden I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, as follows, to wit:

In a felly-joint support, the combination with a T-shaped member, consisting of a spring-plate and an integral dovetailed shank,

the shank terminating in a threaded-shank bolt, of a felly-plate, apertured to receive the shank-bolt, and a nut adapted to force the felly-plate toward the spring-plate.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 18th day of March, A. D. 1903.
